StoreHealthAnalyzer Remote Agent — Deploy Bundle

This ZIP is a self-contained deployment bundle for the StoreHealthAnalyzer remote agent. Extract it, run install.sh, fill in your .env, and the agent will start as a Docker container.

What's in the bundle

File	Purpose
sha-remote-agent-<version>.tar.gz	The Docker image, saved via docker save.
docker-compose.yml	Runtime-only compose file (no build step; references the loaded image).
install.sh	Verifies checksum, loads the image, seeds .env, starts the container.
.env.example	Template — copied to .env on first run for you to fill in.
SHA256SUMS	Integrity check for the image tarball.
VERSION	Plain-text version marker used by install.sh and docker-compose.yml.
README.md	This file.

Prerequisites (on the remote host)

• Docker 20.10+ with the daemon running.
• Docker Compose — either the modern docker compose plugin (v2) or the legacy docker-compose binary. install.sh auto-detects.
• Whichever user runs install.sh needs permission to talk to the Docker daemon (member of the docker group, or run under sudo).
• Outbound network access from the host to:
  • The main StoreHealthAnalyzer server (WS_URL).
  • The internal APIs the agent proxies for (SIW, MDM, etc.).

Install / start

unzip sha-remote-agent-<version>.zip
cd sha-remote-agent-<version>
./install.sh

On the first run install.sh will:

1. Verify the SHA-256 of the image tarball against SHA256SUMS.
2. Load the image into Docker (skipped on subsequent runs if the image is already present).
3. Copy .env.example → .env and stop, asking you to fill it in.

Fill in .env:

vi .env    # set WS_URL and WS_TOKEN

Then re-run:

./install.sh

That last run will start the container (docker compose up -d) and print the log-tail command.

Day-to-day operations

docker compose logs -f              # tail the agent logs
docker compose ps                   # show container status
docker compose restart              # cycle it
docker compose down                 # stop and remove the container
docker compose up -d                # bring it back up

Healthy startup looks like:

Upgrading

When you receive a newer ZIP:

# Optional: back up your existing config
cp -a <old-version-folder>/.env ./sha-remote-agent-<new-version>-env.bak

# Stop the old container
cd <old-version-folder> && docker compose down && cd ..

# Extract and start the new one
unzip sha-remote-agent-<new-version>.zip
cp <old-version-folder>/.env sha-remote-agent-<new-version>/.env
cd sha-remote-agent-<new-version>
./install.sh

The old image stays in Docker's local cache until you docker image prune it — handy if you need to roll back quickly.

Troubleshooting

• "Cannot talk to the Docker daemon" — either Docker isn't running or your user isn't in the docker group. Try sudo ./install.sh or add yourself to the group: sudo usermod -aG docker $USER and log back in.
• "Checksum verification FAILED" — the ZIP was corrupted in transit. Re-transfer.
• "exec /sbin/tini: exec format error" or "Image architecture does not match this host" — the ZIP was built for the wrong CPU architecture (typically an Apple Silicon Mac produced an arm64 image for an x86_64 Linux host). install.sh catches this and prints the exact rebuild command; ask your build operator to run:

  ./docker/remote-agent/package.sh --platform linux/amd64
  

  (or linux/arm64 if this host is ARM — run uname -m to check: x86_64 → linux/amd64, aarch64 → linux/arm64.)
• Agent connects, then disconnects immediately — WS_TOKEN doesn't match the server. Fix in .env, then docker compose restart.
• Agent never connects — check WS_URL (correct hostname, correct scheme ws:// vs wss://) and that there's no firewall between this host and the server.
